I've only read one of the novels but it was so much creepier that I was put off from trying any more of them. So.

@cB557 I think you're relatively fine to try the first season of Bakemono and see what you think

Let's just say the anime is a very faithful adaptation. Credit given where credit due, that had to be a localization nightmare for the English author.
And it has some beautfiul art.

Which honestly seems like the most frustrating shit.
As for Gantz and Inuyashiki, both have extremely uncomfortable depictions of violence. There is a pretty big difference though. Gantz, especially early Gantz, combines a desire to seemingly revel in pretty conceptually unpleasant subject matter combined with a desire to depict said subject very realistically without treating said realistic unpleasant subject matter with the weight it deserves. It starts off edgy for the sake of being edgy, and there's not a lot to like. It gets better, but it continues to always straddle the line between justifying the unpleasantness of its material. Its page composition and creature design are phenomenal, but it even with the caveat that Gantz does get more nuanced and even empathetic over time it always struggles to both justify its cruelty towards its characters as well maintain appropriate gravitas for the horrible actions its cast both does and is subjected to. Its biggest strength is just its visual artistic creativity.
Inuyashiki, on the other hand, is something I can tentatively recommend. It still has numerous realistic depictions of violent acts which both the manga and show really focus on, but there are two big differences between the violence in it and the violence in Gantz: 1. All of the violence is treated pretty tastefully. It's gruesome, and the series treats it as such. There is needless petty cruelty in the series, and it is treated as horrifying. 2. There is a larger narrative and thematic purpose to the violence. The story of Inuyashiki is, to boil it down, about two people randomly and arbitrarily developing amazing super powers on the same day, and how they both choose to live their lives after that. The actions of these two characters, and other characters in the series, have lasting consequences. Thematically, it is about the capacity for kindness and cruelty in individuals and societies. Part of that is in unflinchingly depicting the awful behavior some its characters choose to indulge in. It isn't amazing, its plot isn't something that I think is totally good enough to unambiguously justify how unpleasant parts of it are, but it is miles above Gantz in tastefulness.

Her love interests are all way more likely to kill each other long before even thinking of harming her.
But as far as she's concerned, everyone is just good friends.
it's a competition of memorization and twitch reflexes
the gist of it is there's a ref reciting poetry and players have to be first to claim the corresponding card
hey now, only like half the strawhats are exceedingly dumb
maybe 2/3s
The rest just go along with the stupidity because they know they can't stop it
I mean, the problem isn't that Zoro is in danger, it's just that he'll get lost. Honestly it probably works out fine since his enemies never have issues with getting impossibly lost - they'll find him easily regardless.

If Zoro had a sense of direction then the series' power balance would be broken.

But, folks, can we talk about how the entire game seems to have changed in episode 16.
I'd also rate Suruga Devil/Hanamonogatari in Monogatari Second Season too, and it's absolutely incredibly and what I think is the best arc in the entire show haha (followed by Tsubasa Tiger)
Yeah to me monogatari is the very definition of problematic fav because everything except the shitty stuff is just fucking top-tier masterpiece. If I could get like a director's cut that just removed the really bad shit I'd be one billion percent onto that within a heartbeat, because the rest of the show is just so close to my heart.
But I can't easily recommend it to people because of the problematic stuff, so I only do so to people I trust to not take the problematic stuff as an indication that I actually like those parts, because I sure as heck do not.
Thankfully it does get better as the series goes on, but the stuff in nisei in particular is just real problematic.
ESPECIALLY Japanese politics
